[QUOTE="JerichoPenumbra, post: 9090809, member: 7037007"] Sounds like a fair assessment to me too. My group has the game that's been going on almost 2 years now that started as O5e and then slowly converted to Level Up after it was released. Personally, I'm more of the opposite and think most of the A5e subclasses are better than the OG ones.
